So while this seems a little more realistic than other backgammon games available in the App Store it still suffers from the not so random dice roll generator. I understand losing games. I’m fine with that. It’s the constant losing I take issue with. The player you play against continually gets great rolls. If it was random the human player would also randomly great rolls. But that’s not the case. While the vs opponent gets a run that they need to put you in a no win situation it doesn’t come around to the player having the same run. The developers say it’s random but if it was random the player would randomly have a game that they stomp their opponent. That doesn’t happen with this game. It’s the constant stomping by the vs player that ruins it. After a bit it’s just no fun. Seeing your opponent roll high doubles 4 times in a game and you either get double 1s or no doubles at all. If you do roll double 6s it’s often when you’re on the rail or in a spot where you can’t move 6 pipes cause they aren’t available. I understand if it’s like this sometimes, but this is more often than sometimes. Still a smidge better than LotB, but not much. I’m not sure what the answer is. I just wish it was really random because you would randomly have a good game.

I like the graphics, I like the movement. after playing many games, I have found that once you become comfortable playing the game the programmers screw you. I have played hundreds of thousands of games of backgammon (over 40+ years) but this program gets to a point where it only rolls doubles for the opponent whilst you can only roll unusable combinations. It's like all the current computer games which are designed to teach you the only winning hand is to delete the app. I could have predicted the response of the developer – in fact I did predict the response of the programmer. they claim everything is as a result of a random number generator – that may be true after they've eliminated certain combinations already, depending on whether it's the program player or the live player. it would have been a wonderful game if they programmed it straight -but when in multiple games in sequence, the computer rolls high doubles on every roll & the human is given low non-usuable combinations on EVERY roll - that's not random. I was just amazed at how many times that the computer snatched victory out of the jaws of defeat in many consecutive games. I finally figured out the correct winning strategy – I deleted the app.

I agree with ‘fun but frustrating’. I can lose up to 10 games in a row and every single roll the dice gives the opponent is perfection nearly every time. If you are “unlucky” enough to actually capture the opponent’s chip then you will either get gotten or they will roll doubles EVERY TIME! I noticed a lot too that whenever you aren’t covered they always have the opportunity to get you but sometimes don’t….until the next roll where you have another chip uncovered that benefits the opponent (and that’s because of the roll you were given). Most always the numbers on their doubles are twice as big as yours as well. I loved this game when I started playing it but now it frustrates me to no end to where I’m about to delete the app. I have played a whole lot of backgammon in real life and nobody, I mean nobody, ever has the perfect rolls all the time, time after time after time. I want to play, I don’t mind losing from time to time either, BUT up to 10 times in a row (and get slaughtered every time)????? Come on now. I’ve been playing this app for awhile but the developer(s) have taken the fun and ‘the challenge’ out of the game. Any way to fix this developer(s) to make it more fair to the challenger?????
